Great episode. Glad to see everyone in this finale and the ceremony going well. A cheerful ending as well with appreciation from Makoto. :3

Gingitsune might be over but I'm glad I watched it. Might bu BDs in the future to support this show. 8/10. Mini Makoto is adorable of course.

Definitely most underrated show of the season. Really relaxing show :)

Loved this ep with everyone gathering. The way Hiwako treats the StuCo Pres is so lol XD

Tamaki sleeping all day was lol...he looked like a different person when he was serious XD

Loli Makoto was so Kawaii <3

Loved the scene at the river between Gin and Makoto. Really heart warming ^^

Such a relaxing finale episode. Almost all the characters in here appeared during the ceremony scenes. The river scene was amusing, Makoto and Gin will watch each other until the end :D.

8/10 for the season.

My exact impression. The ending was great because the anime set pretty average standards and fulfilled them by the end.

This was one of those unique anime, It was very well done and I loved it a lot more than I anticipated at the beginning.
I don't think it should get a S2 though, This was an open ending, but it's ending was just too good to have a second season.

10/10 for me.

Not my favorite but an okay watch nonetheless.
This ended just where it feels like we're barely getting to know the characters which is a shame.

There are 10 tankouban of the manga, so plenty of stories left to tell.

This show was a good example of how to end a series that isn't ending. It leaves you both wanting to know more, but at the same time letting you walk away without needing to know more.

Now that it is over I will have to go pick up the books.

Pretty decent anime overall. I gotta give credit to the music, which I really like and it has some fun moments, but the thing that ruined the whole show for me is Haru.

Despite Haru being in it, 6/10.

Thus we bid farewell to Gingitsune.

I really enjoyed this gentle show. I agree with everyone who describes it as 'underrated.'

I would like to see more of this also and feel that the characters, especially the several supporting ones of the last few episodes, have many intriguing stories to tell.

Is the manga available in translation?

I hope there's a second season, it feels like there's really a lot more to this story than what we got. Considering the manga's still on-going, that sounds about right. I'd like to see more of the relationship between Gintaro and Makoto, and I'd like to see Kinjiro in person and thus get to know him more.

So yeah, a rather underrated, quiet anime. I really enjoyed the first half before it settled down, and I was "eh" about it anyway. I wouldn't mind getting this if it came out here in the States.

I enjoyed this show, it was so cute and full with genuine and positive feelings. Throughout the episodes, I really liked the bitter-sweet moments when the characters concentrate on how time passes for human and for spirits. But what I loved the most were the flashbacks, they should have put more of them.

YES! The flashbacks were one of my favorite parts. Even the brief flashback in this last episode when Makoto is reminiscing about sitting in Gintaro's lap. Gintaro was so patient with her and Makoto quite an endearing little girl. My favorite of the series has to be the origin of Haru.

Excellent show. Really glad I picked it up. So many great heartwarming episodes but with a slight melancholy feel to it for me. Perhaps its the thought of Gin outliving Makoto by several years. Anyways 8/10 overall.

Makoto is so damn cute it's distracting > <

This was a very charming series and that aspect is enough to make it good from week to week. Makoto's little revelation at the end made her small struggle reach some form of conclusion.

"This is when I normally go to bed" I know that feeling :\

Funabashi's embarrassed blush when Saeki's dad complimented them looked sexy o_0

Funabashi's glare reminds me so much of Shiroe (Log Horizon).

Red haired dude likes what he sees :3

This and Non Non Biyori are tied for most relaxing anime of the season :D

A great ending to such a relaxing and enjoyable anime, I hope we get a second season so we can find out more about Gin's partner and be with the gang more.

8/10 definitely

OK, sign me up right now for a second season! Shinto and romance...two of my favourite themes in a show. I guess I'm going to have to start the manga too, just in case. They can't leave us hanging, particularly when they start indicating that there might be some love rivalries between suitors for each of the girls.

I didn't really enjoy this show so much. Felt like more of a chore to watch. Most of the characters annoyed me. Couldn't relate to any of them except Satoru if a little bit.

The relaxed heartwarming show has come to an end. It was a fun slice of life ride , wouldn't mind for a second season. 8/10.

Hehe, was a really relaxing story, definitely a great SOL, the atmosphere in the last ep was great and Saeki and everyone looked great as shrine maidens. Although it started off a bit boring I grew to really like it later on. Also, definitely +1 to the great OP, fell in love with it the more I listened to it and the full song is even beter.

I teared up a bit when the flashback scene was playing. It was so lovely and adorable <3

I really really loved this episode, among all the other shows on this season that have ended, Gingitsune probably has the best ending of all, imo. It has good messages and they delivered it almost perfectly.

Just like Natsume Yuujinchou, Gingitsune left me with a warm and fuzzy feelings.

Beautiful. And the OP, Tiny Lamp is one of the best OP this season. As expected from fhana <3

Final Score : 8,5/10


p.s

I hope more people watch this anime.. :(

What a nice flashback and the OST is strong with this one.

I could say it's no Natsume (which is true), but that's kind of irrelevant considering this was more about the human relationships, rather than heralds/youkai. Whatever, enjoyable nonetheless and I will always remember to never fool around in the shrine, lest the fox spirits eat me. 7/10

I don't know how to rate it XD

Haru and Satoru were hardest part to stand... don't like this kind of characters. They improved along the road but still.

Other than that mood was good, I would call it lazy - no drama, little of plot but I don't mind.
Best character was of course Tatsuo, would be nice to see some of his past or why Gintaro had different attitude towards him, than rest of humanity (it seems).

7/10 for now and one of best things this season.
